E6000n Remote PHY

Distributed Access Modules for DOCSIS® and QAM video

As the newest step in the continuing evolution towards an all-digital headend, Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) extends the digital portion of the headend/hub domain out to the fiber optic node and places the digital/RF interface at the optical/coax boundary. This strategic move offers many potential benefits, including increased bandwidth capacity, improved fiber efficiencies (wavelengths and distance), simplified plant operations with digital optics, decreased loads on facility space and power systems, and directional alignment with NFV/SDN/FTTx systems of the future.

ARRIS provides both the CCAP Core and Remote PHY Device (RPD) defined in the CableLabs® Modular Headend Architecture (MHAv2). In this approach, the PHY layer is moved from the CCAP into a node or remote shelf, but the MAC processing, provisioning, and monitoring functions remain in the headend.

For operators with smaller hub sites or cabinet-based architectures, the Remote PHY Shelf can optimize overall power requirements while supporting up to three Downstream service groups and six Upstream service groups.
